PATRONIZE HOME.
The following, clipped from th?

changing a few word s and names :
.Before you buy or cat a piece o
condy make sure that it is from th?
Sumter candy factory; if your mer
chant doesn't patronize local enterprise:
try and persuade him to do so.
Never bay * piece of furniture else
where until you have given the Sum
ter fa rot tare dealers a chance; buj
home made furniture always when yoi
can.
Never buy forejgo leather if you cai
get the home made article anywhere
near the same price.
Before buying wagon, carriage oi
buggy give thejlocal dealers an opportu
nity to say if they haven't got what
you waat or can't get it for yon.
Never send away an order for cast
tog or machine work of any kind anti
your own foundries and mechanics have
had the opportunity to bid OD it.
If you want jewelry made or repair?
ed let Sumter jewelers have the firs!
trv and show yon what they can do.
?ferer boy an agricultural implement
^.**??a . . . v * *
from outsid e uaiil y ott jeno W; nothing of

See that tba cotton seed oil in whioh
your French- sardines are packed and
from which your pare imported olive
oil is made was from the South Carolina

Use no bottled soda water bat get it
fresh and'good from your nome' manu?

Never give an order for job printing
until yon have examined tba work and
prices of the Sumter; offices. If you
don't like tbe Watchman and SotUhron
go to the Advance. -But the Watch?

In short, let it be your care that
every possible dollar of Sumter money
remains ia Sumter. That is the way
in which every body can help local en?

WASBBGTOX, D. C., May 20, 1887.
Soldier boys from Paget Sound,
Texas, New Orleans and other joints
have already arrived, and thousands of
others are bowling along over the rail?
roads on their way to Camp George
Washington. Tba- latter name is the
christening that the camp will receive
on next Monday, when the Drill will be
formally opened; At the camp ground
no dram has beat yet, bot the reveille
ia sounded by the lively, ring of hun?
dreds of hammers.
Tba. busiest scenes are around the
base of the Washington Monument.
Scores of men-are at work there putting
down plank floors for the tents, Near?
ly all of the Monument grounds will .be
appropriated for this purpose .r Scores
of carpenters are also working bard on
the grand stand in the Drill inclosure
from which' the contest will be viewed.
The drill ground is probably the finest
piece of grass-rand which could have
been found for the purpose m the whole
country. It is po? entirely enclosed
within ? board "fence twelve feet high.
"There are. about ten acres of green as
smobthand flat aa a tennis ia wo. Th 3
plot is o val an d th e gran d s tan d ex lien ds
just^hatf : around it.- sFrom ' this - the
view is ? erj ; fine waafever way yon
look. - .
To the southward tbe white marble
monument-the highest in the world
glistens in the sunshine. The view
northward is particularly fine. ; To the
left lia the magnificent War , State and
Navy Department building, and to the
right tie soHdr old granite Treasury,
while between the two the White H ouse
s miles th rougir groa pr of tall, green
trees. Tn? Wreoran building, Al
bangb"s Theatre and the Panorama
bailding of the hattie of Bull's Run are
all near by,- and al though rather too
far for perfect satisfaction, the roof of
any of them would afford a clear view 0
the .entire Drill ground.
The Tn ter-S ta te Commerce Commis?
sion has returned home from its wan?
derings; and has decided it can best at?
tend to its duties by remaining in
Washington after this. The Commis- 1
si one rs have mach work before them .
yet before they can * give a final de ci 5 i 0 n 1
as to; the famous 'Jong and -short h a a I'
clause.. The Queen and Crescent and 1
the Illinois Central railroad have not j
yet presentedUbeir cases, asl their tes?
timony will he taken here.- Other 1
roads have asked permission to submit
written statements, giving the facts
more in detail than they could in their :
testimony before the Commission. These 1
documents will take time for consider?
ation. The testimony the Commission
took on its trip has not yet been written '
ont, and when it is it will have to be
gone ever carefully, co that you see
th ere ja. considerable . work to be done
before a decision can bc reached,
i The new" rules adopted by tba Civil
Service Commission and approved by \
the President have been the sole topic
of discussion among Department clerks
for t?ie^^^f^ht^ The "agitation !
among the old employes is almost pain?
ful to see.. These people are very pan?
icky nowadays at best, and anything
looking to a inore rigid weeding oui; of
Republicans frightens them, os weil it
may. Most of them would be in a de?
plorable condition if removed from their
official positions.
Nothing is calculated to cause greater
consternation, in Washington than the
contingency of dismissal, based 00 the
application of new and strange condi?
tions. Whenever *i vacancy occurs all
the clerks of the department io the
class below it must become candidates
for promotion an i face the competitive
examination. They have no discretion
in the matter, for the order is manda?
tory. Thus, not. only does the the clerk
best fitted for the promotion get the va?
cant place, but the status of all the rest
ts 'ascertained. Persons who get an
average .75 per cent, in the markings of
the examiner?, as you remember, are
secured ia their, positions and are de?
clared eligible for promotion. All who
fail to obtain that average are re-ex?
amined in six months, and, if they
again fail, they become eligible to re?
daction or dismissal.
So of course the terrible chances in?
volved in the new rules cause great ex?
citement among Government employes.
Four-fifths of all of them in Washing?
ton were appointed for supposed party
service, under Republican administra?
tions, and while many of them are in?
competent, they have held their places
because it was difficult to get rid of them.
It is to be hoped these rules will enable
the heads of bureaus to cast off some
barnacles and to promote deserving sub
ordinates ; at any rate they will be sure
to compel a degree of studious applica?
tion hitherto unknown in Washington.
Colonel Watterson Gracefully Be?
elines.
Colonel Watterson refuses to be Vice
President. We do not agree-we can?
not agree-with most of the reasons he
gives for declining the honors aud res?
ponsibilities which we are sure not the
Herald alone, but the general public
and the Democratic party, would re?
joice to see him clothed with. He
writes :
"Barring the expressions of personal
compliment and good will, which it
would be churlish to deprecate, the
Herald's Democratic nomination for
Vice President does not strike us It
has about it a lack both of practicability
and vraisemUance. It is neither rele?
vant nor politic. The editor who is
true to his calling makes every year of
his life a record which would be hurtful,
if not fatal, to campaign requirements.
The editor who is fit for his calling is
likely to be unfit for office, because
there is between the two the principle of
au irreconcilable antagonism-the func?
tions of thc one being mainly critical,
3? the o tb elsmore or less construct
Politics, no'less than jour o al ia rn,
business to be learned by regular :
vice and to be pnrsucd consisten
Otherwise its achievements and hoi
must be but empty /vanities. The
tor of tbe Courier Journal had, sc
yearsv^ago, to consider the questioi
taking office in a cojn^cf'oo so affir
ti ve and inviting as ^.vcocipel the
cisi?n then made to lie conclusive, a
in deciding it in the negative, he
so for air time.
It is not intended by these rema
to take the Herald* j^eisantries m
seriously than such badinage desen
Tn our opinion, the next Democr
ticket is as certain, as that two gen
men, whom we have in our miod's e
live to the meeting of the next Natio
Democratic Convention. We may i
that one of them already occupies
White House and that the other is
an editor."
We should "regret to believe that
Colonel thought us less than entir
sincere in cor mention of bis name
the Vice Presidency There are mi
reasons why such a nomination, in
present condition of our politics, wo
be both "relevant and politic." 1
people are demanding new men, fr?
mea; they have bad enough of poli ti
baok8 and war horses. We believe 5
Watterson 's nomination would i
strength to the ticket.
But be is well known to be an ob:
nate man. If be will not be cannot
persuaded. There is nothing in I
constitution to oblige a man to accep
nomination against his will. So
give 3ip reluctantly and regretful
what was a pleasant dream.
But, pray, who is Colooel Watt
son's substitute ? He bas found oi
apparently. . Is it wrong to ask
name ? Docs he come from Ken tuck
Does his name begin with-well,
will not guess. We depend upon t
Colonel's - good nature to relieve 1
public cariosity.-Nea York Herrn

The committee is composed of 26 mern

The majority report recommends th

from thc other assembly and conside
the whole subject, said committee to re
port at thc next general assembly ii
May next. This committee is instruct
ed to take and maintain the following
position : *A mere acceptance of th'
committee of the standards of oo
church, the confession of faith, th*
longer and shorter catechism, does not
in our .minds, form a sufficient basis o
union ; but an acceptance of that pecu
liar interpretation of our standard
which affirms and emphasises the pure!'
scriptural nature of Christ's kingdon
and forbids ber legislating on pol?tica
or civil matters is the only true basis o
union ; and further, we insist that th
colored brethren within our bounds shal
be organized into separate congrega

Glendale gold mine, have been pros
peeling in the. northern part of thi:
county for gold. In Campobello town

richer than any minc yet worked it

he bas been mining for twelve yearn
and that this is thc richest ore he hat
seen in thu east from the Gulf o
Mexico to Maine. They have securec
the mining interest in over five hundrec
acres of land and have already found
twenty-one veius on it. Some of thc

The Birmingham Boom Burst.
? gentleman was in Athens Friday
who brings os some long-expected news
from Birmingham. He says that , one
day this week $1,500,000 worth of
paper there went to protest, and real
estate is feverish and excited and io no
demand. He says the people are
greatly excited, for they realise the
fact that the predicted collapse is now
about on them and it will ruin thou?
sands. This is the first serious
financial disaster that has come upon
Birmingham, and it will doubtless be
quickly followed by others that will
prick the bubble of fictitious values and
bring property in the place down to its
legitimate price. Our informant fur?
ther says that the ore found around
Birmingham is only .fit for stoves and
piping and can never be made into
steel. This, of course, renders it unfit
for steel rails, and greatly contracta its
sale.-Athens Banner.

Our Exchanges,
Scribner*? Magazine for June bas for its
opening articles a semi-historical and critical
essay, by John C. Ropes, entitled "Some Il?
lustrations of Napoleon and bis Times."
This is in a similar vein to "The Likenesses
of Julius Caesar," which Mr. Ropes contrib?
uted to the Febrpary number of Scribner's.
It is plentifully illustrated from the author's
fine collection of Napoleon portraits. There
are full-page reproductions of famous por?
traits by Appian i, I sa bey, and Gerard. Mr.
Ropes' article carefully traces the development
of Napoleon's character as exhibited by bis
changing physiognomy from early man?
hood to maturity. Another article will com?
plete this interesting study.
The June Wide Awake with ita tempting
frontispiece, "The First Day at the Beach,"

is, of course, the opening of the new serial by

Keedon Bluffs" was designed for ten numbers,
but it baa been resolved to give the story en?

Presentment of the Grand Jury.
To the Bon. J. B. Kershaw, Pretiding Judge.
Third Cireu?:
The Grand Jury respectfully present :
That at the February Term the current
work of the Sessions, as prepared by the
Solicitor, and banded out to the Grand Jury,
occupied their entire attention.
Between Terms a committee of the Grand
Jury has inspected the public buildings aod
risked the several County offices.
Tbe Court House building seems to be in a
fair slate of preservation; is insured for
$10,000. The Grand Jnry recommend tbat
the insurance be red need, or effected in a three
years policy, which will red ace the very nigh
premium paid in the past year.
Repairs to the Jail have been completed,
making the building secure and comfortable.
This building is insured for $4,000. Redac?
tion of insurance is also recommended on this
building, or if feasible, the present policies
cancelled, and a three years policy at a re?
duced premium be effected.
The clerical work in the County offices
seems to be in competent, hands. The record
books, papers, ?c., are accurately and safely
kept.
The bonds of the County officers are record?
ed-hare been examined and found to be
good and lufflcteni.
Tbs books in the School Commissioner's
office shew that all the schools in the County
had a balance of money over from last year.
The apportionment for the current fiscal year,
derived from the 2 mill tax and polls, when
entered ou the books, wilt shew a handsome
balance to credit of most of the school dis?
tricts. Tbiawill put them ona cash basis,
and probably enable trustees to lengthen the :
terms, &c.
Bonds' and bridges, np to a recent period
were in good condition. Recent heavy rains
have damaged them to some extent.'
The Poor Bonsa is in good condition. The
buildings, which are ordinary, are.insured
for $1,000. The recommendations made for
the Court House and Jail is also made as to
the insurance on this building. For yeats
the poor and suffering have been aided outside
of the walk of the Poor House. The Legis?
lature in a proviso to the Supply Bill have
cut off this aid. Poor, decrepid people may
have all the necessary care ont of the Poor
House, and only lack a little food. It appears
to the Grand Jury, that aid to the poor out*
aide the walls of the Poor House, giren with
discretion, and under proper r?gulations,
would he a wise, humane anet economical way
of dispensing charity.
Taxes can only be assessed for a definite
purpose. If the County Commissioners, in
their estimate asking for a levy for County
purposes, included a certain portion for the
support of the poor, the Grand Jury recom?
mend that any balance of this particular
fund, which may accrue by the proviso of the
Legislature restricting its use, be not applied ?
to any other purpose.
The disbursements of the County Commis?
sioners for the fiscal year ending Nov. 1, 1886
have been examined. Balances showing the
exact financial condition of the County are
not given. Only the general statement is
made at the end of report that there is an
unexpended balance on hand. Access to the
books and information from the County Com?
missioners enable the Grand Jury to arrive
at the exact financial condition of the County,
which will be given further on.
The report also says the increase in County
expenses is caused by heavy costs of Court,
general disbursement account, Ac.
Tbe Grand Jury examined these general ac?
counts at original sources of entry, and find
som* charges which they think illegal. It
has beeo, and is, the custom in the Sheriff's
office, to charge for all names in an arrest
warrant, and mileage for each name. A
transcript of a recent entry in the Sheriff's
books will illustrate:
Arrest Warrant for Criminals.
The State vs. John Little and James Little
Lodging, $ 25
Arrest Defendants, 2 00
Mileage, 4 00
-$6 25
The State
vs.
Jesse A. Dawkins, Pros.
F..M. Dawkins,
Ch. P. Dawkins.
Lodging, 25
Arrest 3 witnesses, 3 00
Al il enge, 6 00
-$9 25
$15 50
The proper charge io the above case would
he, as far as the Grand Jury know, as fol?
lows:
Lodging, $ 52
Defendants' arrest, 1 00
Witness summons, 75
20 miles, 5c. each way, 2 00
$4 00
It would appear by the entry in the
Sheriff's books that the Trial Justice issued
two warrants, one for defendants, and one for
witnesses.
In checking off items in the Report, under
other beads, the Grand Jury note several that
they think illegal, to wit : Trial Justice paid
for conveying prisoners ; the salary paid Clerk
of the Board of County Commissioners.
Many other items, which were paid under
warrant of law, indicate carelessness and ex?
travagance in the use of Couoty funds.
